    Speaking of delusional, How about $4k for a set of reps? https://www.trademe.co.nz/4089080473

    Thanks Team, Now that FINALLY covid, work, kids and the 550hp mk7 Golf R is finally off my hands (in terms of spending my spare time working on it) and more or less done (pending TVS tuning by E&H Motors for the large turbo as we speak), its time to make room for solely working on the 1M clone. Golf work included adding a second large intercooler, both stock position and front mount, certification work, seat belt anchor plates, new BBS wheels, new semi slicks, methanol injection etc etc. I had a forward facing intake manifold on the 1M, but some %^&* stole that from the car a while back, so a replacement has been ordered, likewise new sump gasket and bolts, while im under the car. Will take mains and rod caps off to check bearing wear while Im there and possibly replace with ACL race bearings if the're average enough. The rollcage was on T.me a while back and I couldn't but haggle and take it off his hands. Its motorsport authority certed. Ill take some snaps of the racetech seats install that's done and the rear interior striped out over the next few days. The cage is tight fitting, mostly with clearance to my head with the type of seats and seat positioning, will need some tweaks or a different type of drivers seat, In the mean time I've partially finished the headlight lens replacement alongside angel eye install. I reckon Ill be dusting that welder off this weekend and hooking back into this beast finally. That and trying to get used to how 195hp and 175kg feels like below, with carbon wheels and a full race only Ti exhaust and tune it just wants to; a) - make you deaf b) - wheelie EVERYWHERE

    Hi there, I'm looking for a stock F20 M135i with under 100k on the clock. Located in Welly, but willing to travel for the right vehicle. I'm a serious buyer, looking for a cash purchase ASAP.

    Hi there, Matej here. I am new to New Zealand and new to the forum as well. Originally from Slovenia, arrived here just a couple of weeks ago. Always been a fan of the brand, but never owned one, as I've always bought "more reasonable and affordable" cars instead. 😅 Once again, I found myself thinking of buying a Toyota...🤦‍♂️ But then I realized the market is so much different here than in the EU - BMWs are actually cheaper here! 😲 That being said, I am looking for an F20 M135i, but would settle for a nice F20 with a smaller engine as well (M Sport is a must). Let me know if you are selling or know of any decent ones that are on the market. Looking forward to all future discussions! Cheers, Matej

    Car has passed its cert, got its wof and reg now, can finally legally drive it on the roads again. Also came up with a mount for a old ipad mini to keep track of oil temps, boost, IATs etc etc. Took it out for a quick drive around some riverhead backroads today, definitely missed driving this car. Next job is going to be to get the front right corner damage sorted.

    I find him quite hard to watch, which is a shame because he tests some cool stuff. I think part of it is that I hate Kiwis. We look/sound terrible in everything we do 🤣

    Some people have better mannerisms suited to presenting this sort of stuff. I noticed but given the length of the video it didn't really bother me, plus id rather have some be themselves rather than put on a fake persona.

    Hi guys, Looking at putting my 2009 335i 6 speed manual on trademe in the coming weeks but thought I would list it here first to see if any members/enthusiasts are interested. I have owned this for just over a year now and have bought another vehicle. Was used as my daily driver for the better part of my ownership. It’s travelled 121,000ks and the water pump has not yet been replaced. Mechanically it is standard apart from an upgraded charge pipe. I was tempted to tune it but wasn’t too fazed as it’s a fun car to drive as is. Has been serviced frequently to keep up with the mechanical warranty and it’s just got a WOF last week. Wheels wont be everybody’s taste but I like them. They’re 19x8.5 vertini magic wheels, tyres with good tread all round. It has a boot lip and a roof spoiler to give it a bit more shape and it has LED angel eye headlights too. I will be including the standard Motorsport suspension and I’m happy swap the wheels with some style 193’s if you prefer the OEM look. Wanting $26,000 ONO. Thanks
